2. Snowstorm: The heavy snow turned landscapes into winter wonderlands before the higher temperatures and sunshine made it disappear from trees and branches.
3. Water is drinkable, but sewage spill will have long term effects: Potomac Riverkeepers Network called the Potomac Pipeline sewage release “one of the worst, if not the worst, sewage spills in U.S. history.
